Digi Store Saturday- Belinda Griffin: How Sweet It Is

Hi Everyone!

Belinda back with you to share another layout created with the fabulous current cupcake kit, featuring one of the fantastic phrase cut files available in the digi store here.

As you can see I kept this layout nice and simple, I really wanted the title to be the main feature and take over most of the page! I use a variety of the papers from the kit to back behind the cut title, creating a fun bright title.

I then used some of the pink washi tape from the kit (I like the cut the edges of mine into little banner style ends) to create a base for my sub title. I cut around my photo to complement the edges of the title to again make sure the title really remained the focus.

I loved the bright stickers from the kit so made sure I included a few of those around the page, and of course those adorable wood veneer. Finally, some splashes of pain (some of which I ended up turning into a painted heart to fit the sentiment) and the page was done. Quick and simple.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Messy Monday- Belinda Griffin: 'Always be you'

Hi All,

Belinda here today with my very first post! All those who have recieved their kits will already know just how gorgeous they are this month, as always. I was super excited to recieve my cupcake kit, my brain has been overflowing with ideas ever since.

Those who have seen my layouts before will know I'm not a very 'messy' scrapper. I tend to shy away from too much paint, mixed media etc. But I absolutely adored this paint colour and wanted to make it a feature on my first layout. To keep things in line with my own style I decided I wanted to use it to create my own graphic, bold background. I lined my page with tape and then used the cute little roller to paint over the entire page, creating a fun striped background. Isn't the colour of this paint so pretty?!

Because I wanted the paint to be the focal point of the layout I kept the rest simple with lots of white space. A few layers of the gorgeous Happy Things Papers under one photo and the tag under the other added dimension, whilst the sweet little alphas helped create the perfect title.

I wrapped some of the twine around the bottom of the smaller photo, I love doing this on photos/tags, it adds a great little focal point. I also added some little triangles of the pink washi tape, this is one of my favourite little quick and easy DIY embellishments, it helps add some extra interest and draw focus to the photos.

Of course I had to add one of the patterned wood veneer, I was in love with these the minute I saw them! A few stickers and a quick scatter of sequins and the layout was complete!

Thanks for stopping by today, I look forward to seeing to sharing more with you over the coming months.

Introducing Belinda Griffin...

Hey everyone,

Today I am here to introduce our second and final designer Belinda Griffin. Belinda has a modern and fresh style which is so appealing. I love how she incorporates her Silhouette Cameo into her layouts so I am really looking forward to seeing how she uses our APOCD digital files :) Welcome to the team Belinda!

Here is a little bit about Belinda in her own words:

I'm Belinda Griffin, a 28 year old Melbournian living in the outer Northern suburbs with my wonderful husband and two adorable dogs. Accounting clerk by day, I love to let my creative side loose at night. I've been crafting in general for as long as I can remember but I first started scrapbooking when I was 16 and I haven't looked back since. 

My style has evolved over the years and I feel like in the last year I have really found my style. I love to use bright colours and fun patterns to create cheerful pages and projects. I'm currently in love with my still fairly new Silhouette Cameo, all things gold and cute quotes.

I've always loved to mix manufacturers and Raquel sure knows how to do that so I'm super excited to be joining the APOCD team! I can't wait to start sharing with you all.
